Why Should I Join a Society?

If the thought of physical activity doesn't appeal to you, then why not join a society to activate your life. The societies bring together people with a common interest to perform, run campaigns and events, dance, sing, hold debates or just have a good time! We offer a wide range of societies to choose from, with Film, Law, DJ, Poker, Christian Union and Live Music to name a few.

Societies are extremely popular with many offering trips, parties and events available to all registered students.

However if you can't find a society that you are interested in then you can start your own. Call in to ASA or click here to collect a guide to forming a society.

Enhance your SOCIAL LIFE

Increase your EMPLOYABILITY

Improve your SKILLS

Make new FRIENDS

Get INVOLVED

Have FUN

Societies are a fantastic way to meet people with similar interests. Many people find that they make their best university friends through joining a society and it's a great way to meet people outside your halls, course and even from another campus.

They also provide a unique opportunity to try something new, often for a bargain price. If you've always wanted to learn how to DJ, play poker or explore, then there's no better time.

Once you've been involved in a society, you have the opportunity to stand for the committee. Helping to run a society is a very valuable experience, prized by future employers, and all the support you could wish for is available through the Societies Guild Exec.

If you want to work both - your body and mind - get involved, meet new people and even gain some new skills. The only thing left to decide is which on to choose!
